What does die just mowed do? What is its advantages, and it's disadvantages.

No, I didn't decide to go to the Catholic Church because her friends. I actually chose it for the reasons that I stated. Yes it's more traditional, but it's more in line with what I like, not just like isn't personal thing, but when I believe in. Anyhow, I know it doesn't make sense to a lot of people. But I just can't go in somewhere that I can't deal with the situations of leadership and such as that. And I can't go into a church that has no hierarchy that can do it they want to, and didn't have a rock party every service. You can "say in the Bible that you want to or not. I don't believe that's what God wants.

I have grown up with the zero situations where people could do what they want to do in church. Never, ever, ever, ever will I deal with that again. I went through hell and high water to deal with that. And it took me a long time to end up back in church. And, there are no Missouri Synod churches here that are going to stay alive. All of them or all of the one we have here, it's on its way to death. So, there are ELCA churches, and as I said, no, I don't have the right to judge anybody. But, no one, and my believe, can be in leadership and be actively game. It just can't happen.

You're right, there aren't any perfect churches. But people don't understand that the gospel is preached and emphasized in the Catholic Church. They see what they want to, and don't really know the truth. Don't really see the inner core of what they what it is. Everybody sees the outs The outside of the cathedral, the Rose, the prayers, all that stuff, but they never see the emphasis on the Gospel. Which is what is emphasized the most in the mass. So, again, people can see what they want to. But I don't bother opening the situation up to really see what's inside. 

I'm glad we can talk about it, because everybody does have the right to believe what they believe. And you're right, everyone has to take their situation and stop and realize taking stock in what they believe in. Not just going with the flow. So, that's everybody. Not just me. So, good night y'all. ide.

It's not right to pick a church just because it is more traditional anymore than it is to pick a church just because it is the closest one to your apartment. If you don't believe the tenants of the faith it's not right for you. No church is perfect because every church, every faith has human beings attempting to live out their face to the best of their ability. Some of them work harder at it than others! But there are churches out there that are more True to the Bible and more living the faith they preach than others. I don't want you to attend Catholic mass just because it's traditional, you agree with most of its political views, and because you can get a ride. I know you're still trying to establish what you believe. I just want to hug you because I'm sure this is so difficult. We should all be re-examining our faith every once in a while.  I mean checking to make sure that what's in our heart and how we act is still in line with what we believe. Not that we need a congregational change, but that we become spiritually complacent.
